My 420S was still using the original starter up until a few months ago.
After multiple delays in being able to reassemble to tractor, I can't remember if I am missing some parts here.
The rebuilt starter includes a new switch. There is a piece of stiff fiberboard over the stud and held against the sheet metal switch case. The fiberboard is held down via two "push-on" washers. This is a bit different than the old one, but I now forget what all was there on the old one.
I am thinking that next to go on the stud should be another piece of fiberboard, same size as shown, then the anchor/pivot plate of starter pull rod.
Then, a non-conductive bushing that fits around the stud but inside the anchor/pivot plate about as long as the plate is thick.
Then another fiberboard piece/washer on top of anchor/pivot plate.
Then a flat metal washer, the positive cable lug on the stud and then the final nut.
All the above to insulate the stud from everything other than the cable lug. So that when the starter rod is pulled, there is no power traveling up the rod.
But is the plunger insulated somehow? as when it is pushed into the switch it bridges the power from the outside stud to another stud inside the starter ?
Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
